Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flat panel display (FPD), and more particularly to a thin film transistor (TFT) for a FPD and a manufacturing method thereof.
- FPD flat panel display
- TFT thin film transistor
- the FPD includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, a plasma display panel (PDP) and an organic electroluminescent display device (OLED) or the like.
- the TFT is utilized as a switching element or a driving element of the FPD.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a structure of an LCD according to the related art.
- an LCD 3 includes upper and lower substrates 5 and 22 facing each other and a liquid crystal layer 11 between the upper and lower substrates 5 and 22 .
- a gate line 12 and a data line 24 crossing the gate line 12 are formed on the lower substrate 22 to define a pixel region P.
- a TFT T is disposed at a position adjacent to the crossing of the gate line 12 and the data line 24 , and a pixel electrode 17 is connected to the TFT T and is disposed in the pixel region P.
- the pixel electrode 17 includes a transparent conductive material such as, for example, indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO).
- the TFT T includes a gate electrode 30 connected to the gate line 12 , a source electrode 34 connected to the data line 24 , a drain electrode 36 spaced apart from the source electrode 34 , and a semiconductor layer 32 between the gate electrode 30 and the source electrode 34 and between the gate electrode 30 and the drain electrode 36 .
- the gate line 12 provides a scanning signal from a first external circuit with the gate electrode 30 and the data line 24 provides a data signal from a second external circuit with the source electrode 34 .
- red, green and blue sub-color filters 7 a , 7 b and 7 c are formed on the upper substrate 5 , wherein each of the red, green and blue sub-color filters 7 a , 7 b and 7 c is repeatedly disposed in a region corresponding to the pixel region P.
- a black matrix 6 is formed in an intervening space between the red, green and blue sub-color filters 7 a , 7 b and 7 c and a common electrode 9 is formed on the red, green and blue sub-color filters 7 a , 7 b and 7 c and the black matrix 6 .
- Liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer 11 have an anisotropic dielectric constant and anisotropic refractive index characteristics due to their long, thin shape.
- two electric field generating electrodes are formed on the two substrates, respectively. Accordingly, the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules can be controlled by supplying a voltage to the two electrodes. Transmittance of the LCD panel is thus changed according to the polarization properties of the liquid crystal material.
- the TFT may have various configurations. Typically, an inverted staggered type TFT of amorphous silicon or a top gate type TFT of polysilicon are utilized.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an inverted staggered type TFT according to the related art.
- an inverted staggered type TFT T includes a gate electrode 52 on a substrate 50 , a gate insulating layer 54 on an entire surface of the substrate 50 having the gate electrode 52 , an active layer 56 on the gate insulating layer 54 over the gate electrode 52 , and an ohmic contact layer 58 on the active layer 56 .
- the ohmic contact layer 58 has an opening portion 59 that exposes a central portion of the active layer 56 .
- Source and drain electrodes 60 and 62 are formed on the ohmic contact layer 58 .
- the source and drain electrodes 60 and 62 are spaced apart from each other by the opening portion 59 .
- the opening portion 59 defines a channel portion (not shown) of the TFT T.
- a passivation layer 64 is formed on the TFT T.
- the passivation layer 64 has a drain contact hole 66 that exposes a portion of the drain electrode 62 .
- the pixel electrode 68 is formed on the passivation layer 64 and is connected to the drain electrode 62 via the drain contact hole 66 .
- FIGS. 3A to 3E are schematic cross-sectional views showing an array substrate including an inverted staggered TFT in accordance with a manufacturing process thereof of the related art.
- a gate electrode 52 is formed by depositing and patterning a conductive material such as aluminum (Al), Al alloy, copper, tungsten (W), or molybdenum (Mo) on a substrate 50 .
- a conductive material such as aluminum (Al), Al alloy, copper, tungsten (W), or molybdenum (Mo)
- a gate insulating layer 54 is formed by depositing an inorganic insulating material, such as silicon nitride or silicon oxide, on the substrate 50 where the gate electrode 52 is formed.
- amorphous silicon and doped amorphous silicon are deposited on the gate insulating layer 54 and patterned into an active layer 56 and an ohmic contact layer 58 , respectively.
- the amorphous silicon is deposited by a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) after decomposing a silane gas (SiH 4 ) by radio frequency (RF) power.
- PECVD plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition
- SiH 4 silane gas
- RF radio frequency
- Forming the doped amorphous silicon includes preparing a chamber (not shown) where the substrate 50 having the amorphous silicon formed thereon is disposed and injecting a doping gas such as silane (SiH 4 ), a dilution gas of hydrogen, phosphine (PH 3 ) and diborane (B 2 H 6 ), into the chamber.
- a doping gas such as silane (SiH 4 ), a dilution gas of hydrogen, phosphine (PH 3 ) and diborane (B 2 H 6 .
- impurities such as phosphorous (P) or boron (B) may be incorporated as dopants into the amorphous silicon by providing RF power in the chamber.
- the active layer 56 and the ohmic contact layer 58 can be formed having predetermined patterns by performing a mask process for patterning the amorphous silicon layer and the doped amorphous silicon layer.
- source and drain electrodes 60 and 62 are formed by depositing and patterning a conductive material, such as the same material as the gate electrode material, on the ohmic contact layer 58 .
- a conductive material such as the same material as the gate electrode material
- the source and drain electrodes 60 and 62 are spaced apart from each other by an opening portion 59 that exposes a portion of the ohmic contact layer 58 .
